Parallel abstract (English)

This thesis presents structural analysis of the steel column exposed to a localised fire. Since EN 1991-1-2(2002) doesn’t provide simplified method to calculate heat transfer to the vertical elements, the CFD model of a localised fire is made, based on previously conducted experiments. Furthermore, heat transfer was calculated based on CFD model so as for ISO temperature-time curve respectively. Finally, nonlinear structural analysis of the steel column has been carried out for the localised fire scenario, as well as for the ISO temperature time curve. The comparison between the localised fire and ISO fire exposure points put that localised fire, depending on the level of external load, can lead to earlier failure of the column.
